The effect of Catalan independence?
A post on The Sun, gave a shocking
statement that Spain, the 2010 world cup winners can be expelled from
international competition if Barcelona are no longer allowed to play in La Liga
In one of my previous post, I had
written about the possibility of Barcelona playing in the Premier League and
about what implications that could have in world football but now, something
bigger could happen if Catalunya does become a separate nation.
FIFA could ban the Spain national team
from competing in the International games, just when the 2018 world cup is less
than a year away.
This is a huge blow to every
footballing fan as Spain are one of the favorites and a team to beat in the
World Cup tournament. This could be the eventuality
because of this one statement “FIFA could be asked to determine if Spain
had breached its rule against government interference in football”
This
is really huge and might be a great loss to Spanish football if it does happen.
This is nothing less than a crisis. Without Spain, a team that has some of the
best players in the world, a team that plays attractive football, football
might never be the same again.
There
are a lot of news floating on the internet about how the split is an
impossibility and about many not supporting it but I’m not going to indulge in
politics here but something must be done to prevent this catastrophe. Amendments
of law needs to be done as Football cannot bear the loss of a team like Spain.
